After copying all the *.elc files compiled on my GNU/linux box to the
helm directory on WindowsXP the problem is gone.
Both version on GNU/linux and WindowsXP are 24.3.1.


> Or just comparing the *.elc files compiled on Unix and on Windows?
From my GNU/Linux box:

(setenv "LANG" "C")

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff -c /home/thierry/elisp/helm/helm.elc /home/thierry/sharevbox/helm.elc
Binary files /home/thierry/elisp/helm/helm.elc and /home/thierry/sharevbox/helm.elc differ

Diff finished (diff error).  Fri Sep  6 16:46:22 2013
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is there special recommendation to diff binary files?
